I've got the oppritunity to buy another 95 civic coupe for $700.00 it needs a water pump and an alternator is it worth it?... I can also pick up a 96 integra automatic with a blown b16 motor? just some tips on if the civic is worth it, its got nearly 230,000 on it? HELP ME PLEASE

 

For a project car yea. For a DD and expecting no problems no. I would get more info on both cars for age like that I would want to see a whole sheet on whats been repaired on and what hasn't. You know hows the tranny's in each car? Have they been beaten on... my guess is yes.

 

Yeah im pretty sure they've been beat on they've been sitting for a while i mean doors were frozen shut. The 95 was going to be a project, i found an amazing site for used motors. But i dont want to get a fast one pulled on me ya know? i was hoping to turn the 95 in to a daily driver with time

 

"Needs water pump" is almost a certainty that someone overheated it and burnt up the engine. Course if the body is in great shape it's no problem to swap it.
